EMLYN IS AN AUSTRALIAN-MADE CREATIVE DIRECTOR NOW ROAMING NYC, PACKING OVER 17 YEARS OF AGENCY KNOW-HOW AND A HEALTHY TOLERANCE FOR CHAOS.

He’s a winner of shiny things, a grower of brands, an art-and-production tragic, and a shameless connoisseur of tiny tinned fish. He’s worked across tech, luxury, automotive, hospitality, fashion, and booze, basically anything that would let him in the door. Cheers, nice to meet you!
